The Phantom Daubers of Durham: Durham's Most Reprehensible Students

Geoff and Richard met as students at St. John's College, Durham in 1965. Their numerous outrageous pranks recounted in this book of may give some clue as to how the authors developed in later life and why they remain a threat to society. They went on to have varied careers, in and out of the public eye. Greengrocer, parish priest, owner of a company in China, first person to cross the Sahara on foot, chair of the European Nuclear Energy Forum, supermarket chain founder, undertaker's assistant, Area Dean, Chinese calligrapher, Fair Trade 'godfather', business continuity specialist and many, many more. The relaxed nature of undergraduate life sixty years ago is conveyed with surprising detail and in a setting where challenging authority and devising activities of great personal risk take priority over hum-drum academic matters. The authors' vain hope is that this book will inspire today's aspiring, debt-ridden student to make the world a better place and have some fun whilst doing so.
